New Mom, New Life Lessons

Everyone tells expecting parents their “lives are about to change forever,” “a baby changes everything,” “you’ll never be the same again,” “you’ll have to find a new normal.”Everyone is right. I didn’t expect anything else.What Elijah has taught me so far:How to take showers so much fasterGetting myself ready in at least half the timeHow to sleep much deeper in a shorter amount of time than ever beforePatienceLove, a crazy, deep, emotional, almost desparate kind of love that doesn’t go away when he’s screaming, has crazy steaming diaper-fulls, or his latest – big, projectile spit-ups.It’s a brand new life. Praise God, I wouldn’t want to have any other 🙂****Please forgive the slight mishap with the blog pix. In an effort to create more space I deleted a few picaso albums, who knew that would remove pix from the blog as well 😦
